An SDR-based Study of Multi-GNSS Positioning Performance During Fast-developing Space Weather Storm
Journal Title: TransNav, the International Journal on Marine Navigation and Safety of Sea Transportation - Year 2016, Vol 10, Issue 3
Abstract
The understanding of the ionospheric effects on GNSS positioning performance forms an essential pre-requisite for resilient GNSS development. Here we present the results of a study of the effects of a fast-developing space weather disturbance on the positioning performance of a commercial-grade GPS+GLONASS receiver. Using experimentally collected pseudoranges and the RTKLIB, an open-source software-defined GNSS radio receiver operating in the simulation mode, we assessed GNSS positioning performance degradations for various modes of GNSS SDR receiver operation, and identified the benefits of utilisation of multi-GNSS and ionospheric error correction techniques.

An Experimental Identification of Multipath Effect in GPS Positioning Error
The analysis of the GPS multipath effects in maritime environment is constrained with the practice of traditional GPS receiver design, that prevents access to GPS signals in Base-band Processing Domain. Here we propose a...
A Novel Through Capacity Model for One-way Channel Based on Characteristics of the Vessel Traffic Flow
Vessel traffic flow is a key parameter for channel-through capacity and is of great significance to vessel traffic management, channel and port design and navigational risk evaluation. Based on the study of parameters of...

Towards Automated Performance Assessment for Maritime Navigation
This paper presents the outcome of a pre-project that resulted in an initial version (prototype) of an automated assessment algorithm for a specific maritime operation. The prototype is based on identified control requir...
A New Risk Evaluation Model for Safety Management on an Entire Ship Route
In this paper, we introduce a new risk evaluation model for evaluating the navigation safety zone for an entire ship route. This model considers a new algorithm to determine the navigational safety zone in real-time, and...
